Apple iPad Mini, 5th Gen (Wi-Fi, 64GB) - Space Gray (Renewed)

Condition is good, which surprises me for a device that was shipped in a single box ten times it's size with a charger and no padding. Your mileage may vary. Battery life seems good so far.

iPad Mini 5 64gb, Looks almost new, only place I could notice any scratches were on the Apple logo on the back, which is to be expected of any refurbished Apple. But those scratches were very minor. The screen is flawless to my eyes and functions perfectly. On February 28th 2025, the iPad activated, connected to my iPhone and updated to iOS 18.3.1 the current iOS on the aforementioned date. All appropriate communication with my Apple account and transfer of settings worked as they should with no issues. This iPad Mini connected to an afermarket apple pencil (1st gen) with no issues. Overall first impressions are very favorable. A very good buy in my book.

Wonderful item works great and in flawless condition very happy with my purchase and would buy again from this seller!

Good value for the money. Charges quickly. Sound is great. Very happy with the pics it take. The only thing is it doesn’t have a flash.

I have purchased Amazon refurbished products before with good results so wanted to try this. Tried the premium option and received a device with a very scratched screen from different seller and returned it. Ordered excellent quality for a second try and it was cheaper. Ipad received has odd patch on the back that can't be removed and an ultimately unnoticeable scratch on screen. Given I was putting a case a screen protector on the item I decided to keep it. Functions fine and works for my needs. I think purchasing refurbished items from here still is a great value, just maybe temper your expectations and be willing to go through return process if you want the perfect item. I'll update this review should anything change.

The iPad was good, but I have a problem with it and the store resolves it fast without any problem, I do recommend them. Thank you

Maybe I expect too much for a refurbished product. I’d call this reset and tested, not necessarily refurbished. There is no evidence that anything cosmetic got refurbished.Here are my main points of disappointment:1) Poor packaging, everything was rattling around in the box! The thin bubble wrap on the iPad was useless. See photo.2) Dings/dents on every corner of the iPad. And another dent on one side. See photos.3) iPad was not charged, nearly dead battery upon arrival. First thing I had to do was charge it.4) The charging cube is a low-end no-name 1A USB-A type cube. I expected a USB-C 20w charger like Apple shipped with these units originally. And the cheap cube gets hot when charging the iPad, and also makes the USB-A connector on the no name charging cable hot to the touch.5) Delivery took 2 days more than quoted.6) All the above considered, it’s not a great deal price wise. I’ve seen similar condition offers at half the price.It did however have a screen with only one minor abrasion, and it seems to be working after I charged it with my own charger and cable. I am still thinking of returning for a refund, we’ll see how the next 7 days go. I’m suspicious of the battery condition since it arrived not-charged.

After I used this Mini for a week or so, I want to say: Where Have You Been All My Life?Yes, it's an older version, but that didn't bother me at all. In fact, it was a plus, because I got it at a good price and it allowed me to test out just how the Mini would work for me. So far, it's been fantastic.I currently own or have access to 3 iPads. One is an iPad 2, which is so old, it's almost worthless. But I own an older iPad Air and use a new iPad Air at work. Both of these I use for different purposes, but really wasn't all the productive with them.Now, this Mini looks like it will be a better productivity tool for me because it's so portable. I've used it as my carry around device at work and been able to use it for email, conduct Zoom calls, and get some light-to-medium writing done with it. In the past, I was forced to carry around a low-eight Chromebook with a case.Because I write novels in my free time and am on the go a lot, I bought a Zagg keyboard for it and it seems like a great combination to write when I'm the move or stuck somewhere unexpectedly with time on my hands.After just a few short weeks of using it, I sure hope Apple continues to make them.
